Summary

Casual Friday is finally upon us! Sam and Emma take in the spectacle that was State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce finding out in real time during a press briefing that National Security Adviser Tim Waltz had been re-assigned to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. while her boss Marco Rubio was replacing him. After that, Sam and Emma talk to Mehdi Hasan about Trump's first 100 days and all of the damage he and his administration have been able to do in that time. They reflect on how the administrations' assault particularly on immigrants, lead by Stephen Miller, has served as a horrifying spectacle meant in part to distract people from the harm that's also being done to the economy.

After that, Emma is joined by funnyman and birthday boy Matt Lieb. Together they take in some of the sad and consequential aspects of John Fetterman's mental health that have been reported on in a new piece by New York Magazine.

After that, Emma, Russ and Matt admire Ilhan Omar's handling of her interaction with Daily Caller "reporter" Myles Morell while effectively conveying the moral position on the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case and its implications. Also the Texas state house is busy debating a GOP-sponsored bill forbidding litter boxes from schools over a completely made up moral panic about furries.
